US STEEL lock out reaches longest in history

The bitter lockout of U-S Steel Canada employees has come to a sad milestone.
The Hamilton dispute will have been longer than the eight-month lockout endured by Lake Erie Works employees over the same issue last year.

It will also become the longest labour confrontation in the history of the former Stelco.
The 900 workers of the former Stelco operations have been locked out since November in a dispute over pension plans.
That’s 242 days with no sign of movement on either side.
